| Remarks | Years ago my brother and I saw a brilliant bolide meteor streaking horizontally across the sky here in Louisville. It had various colors within the ball, and it exploded after a number of seconds. But what I saw last night was quite different. It was bright green and it almost sparkled. It also looked like it was coming almost straight down towards earth, and the entire event lasted about two, maybe three seconds. Again, very bright. |
